Riding hats and body protectors meeting even the highest safety standards are useless if they don't fit correctly, warns the British Equestrian Trading Association (BETA)
Personalised fittings are available at most tack shops across the UK. The free service is on offer to riders via retailers whose staff have been trained by BETA or Airowear.
Tackshop staff who successfully complete the BETA safety courses receive individually named BETA safety certificates to display in store - indicating to equestrian shoppers that they have been professionally trained.
